I am a complete idiot, I shut down my biocude and put my pistol shrimp and gody into my main tank now the gody died (was killed) and I cant catch the pistol shrimp. I have tried every thing except ripping out all my rock, has anyone sucsessfully captured one without ripping out all the rock, and if they have a trap that worked can I borrow it?

we trapped ours with a fish trap, the wife waited patiently for about 4 hours, used a piece of shrimp as bait, but without a goby the shrimp might not come out of hiding.
